I'm going to assume you're wanting to know how to do this from a
programming level. My advice is to save the pid of the job, then use
waitpid() with the WNOHANG option to check if the job has finished or
not. 'man 2 wait' for more information on using waitpid().
If this isn't what you're looking for, please give me more information
on what exactly you are trying to do and I'll try to help you out.
